I think 17" wheels would fit MUCH better :hand:

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

I think there are a lot of guys here with 17" and larger wheels on them, and they look sharp

I think you should go with 18"

Totally agreed.
Take it from someone who's had 14's,15's,17,18's,& 20's on my Chevelle...I think 18's looks best.

17" x 8" in front with 18" x 10" in back. I would really consider going to 18" wheels if you are wanting to run big brakes. I plan to change out wheels later, but here is what they look like along with the rendering then. If you are doing a long drawn out build I would also suggest that you determine tire and wheel size and buy them toward the end of the build.....Fads and styles change over a two or three year build. Also save and buy wheels you really want. Don't cheap out like I did just to get something moving. Good luck

I have 17 front and 18 rear atm. Will probably go to 18/19 when I replace these.

Here's mine with 17's but I'm waiting on my 18's to get here.I've had 3 68-69's with 17's and was ready for a change with the 18's.

I personally think 18's look best on these cars...IMHO.

[team 68 chevelle]

We are going with 18's going to be working with Frank and his very talented son from Custom Prodigy. Thank you all for your input you have fantastic rides...and remember Chevelle is the badest MC around.
